Why should Microsoft be the big bully of the software markets, and indeed the web? If they were going to be reasonable, or not overreact when something vaguely related to them happens, then it would have a nice soft, dare I say 'cuddely' corporate image that may make it more appealing to the public, rather than being seen as the Big Bad Wolf of the Internet. That would then enable them to sell more products in a market which they already dominate.
However I also read a talkback by some cretin that decided that 'Lindows' could be a Typo of 'Windows', and since the keys are on a different side of the keyboard (in the uk at least) how??
I also believe that he should be allowed to use the domain name MikeRoweSoft.com, since he first registered it, and had Microsoft been so worried, then it should have bought the domain name when it set up its website to stop any possible confusion. Why would Microsoft want to teat the paying consumers as complete dumb-asses, thats really going to help their corporate image isn't it?
The next thing they will be buying is coldmail.com, because obviously us dumbass consumers can make that mistake can't we?
